tvk | Chapter 05 ~ Video

[ It had been just about a month since a certain golden haired ~~asshole~~ king had simply vanished into thin air, without any sort of notice. He had to assume those that knew of him thought him to be dead or worse. That was exactly his plan. Truth is he had been traveling the world this entire time, doing whatever the hell he pleased since he is the King of Heroes, after all. He had collected many things, which would hopefully prove useful during that accursed Dark Hour. Still, it was odd that he had no contact with anyone. Not even his most prized treasure. Truth be told, she was probably the only reason he bothered coming back. So you can imagine his surprise and amused reaction when he stumbles into his home late in the night, only to find a certain king cuddled up on his bed with a pair of lion cubs. So, she had been using his place in his absence. That was fine, because it provided the perfect opportunity for him to show off. And since this is so early in the morning, we'll assume that videos can be taken and sent to inboxes en masse, so everyone will be greeted to his return as soon as they check their phones. ]

[ For anyone who was here before his disappearance, or even later arrivals that may just know him, a certain golden haired individual will be interrupting your usual morning routine with his arrogant voice and all too charming looks. ]

Mongrels... It's been a while, hasn't it? I'm sure you've all missed being in the presence of your king, not that I can say the same about the lot of you.

[ No, seriously. Why does he even bother addressing them? It's not as if their even worthy of looking upon him. Still, things must be said. This is what kings do, is it not? ]

Upon my return, there are a few things I feel I need to make clear, since you seem incapable of remembering anything for longer than a goldfish. Everything of value in this world is mine, that goes without saying. It is I, and only I can truly determine something's value. You see this condo?

[ Yes, he is sweeping through his own condo, showing off the ridiculous contents that shouldn't even be able to fit. It's like his condo was a pocket space or something. You'll see mountains of useless shit that serves no purpose other than looking pretty and expensive, among piles of swords and closets full of the most crazy expensive clothes ever. ]

Everything is mine. Yes, even them.

[ The camera suddenly enters a first person view as it travels down a hallway, eventually entering a dark room that is only lit by the moonlight. The camera will slowly sweep over the bed, where one may find a

caliburns outfitted in merely a large long-sleeved t-shirt, sleeping soundly between two rather large lion cubs. The look on her face would be enough to make the most manly men's hearts melt. ]

They are mine, and mine alone. Nobody can say otherwise. If any of you mongrels have a problem with that?

[ This would usually be the part where he says something about fighting and proving yourself and blahblahblahblahblah. But instead, they'll only get a close-up on his face. A face that just screams TROLLLLLL. ]

Too bad.

[ And just as suddenly as it had started, the video ends. ]

And yet you've already grown this close to the cubs, have you not? And I'm sure you've already put that sword through a lot of battles.

[ He's giving her that look. You know the one. In other words, you are a terrible liar Saber you need him don't deny his rabu. ]

It is as I say. I do not need your charity. If you lavish gifts upon me that require care, then care I will give them. I will not permit these cubs to wander without food nor that blade to not be put to proper use.

[ Waving her hand towards a pile of his accumulated treasury. ]

I will not act as you do. Gathering items and then neglecting to show them any care. Furthermore, it is poor manners to reject a gift even if it is unwarranted.

[ Well, this is going the exact opposite way from how he had planned it. Do you have enough despair, King of Heroes? ]

You know, you're really starting to piss me off, Saber. If you were any other woman, I would have killed you for wasting my time already.

[ An awkward pause, before he exits the room and heads towards the kitchen to fix himself breakfast. Totally not huffy or pouty or anything at all. He is not an overgrown child. Nope. ]

You would have tried and faced defeat.

[ Once he's gone, she's back to getting dressed as quick as she can. In attire identical to the ones she sported in the Fourth War (here comes the king in blaaaack), she follows him out to the kitchen a few minutes later.

Following her are the two cubs naturally. Swayed to her side with unwavering loyalty within a month, they weave between her legs.

Speaking of DEM LEGS, her feet aren't covered in the usual black dress shoes. Nope. Instead she's got cute and very fluffy lion slippers on. ]

Archer, you know my allies will seek to attack you if you made mention of my being here.. right? [ Concern? No, he's totes imagining it. ] You should be cautious about matters of this sort.

[ When she arrives, she'll find Gil in the middle of eating what looks like... what the hell is this even? Well, it's obviously some animal's ribs. What it was in it's previous life is totally anyone's guess. But he is totally omnomnoming away at it without giving a single fuck. ]

So? You act as if they actually pose any threat against me. I dare any of them to try and take me on. [ All dat blinding pride. It's okay, he'll suffer soon enough. ]

[ Saber will peer towards them, wondering if he actually bothered to cook them or anything. More importantly, where is her food? He's not going to seriously eat in front of her, is he? ]

Will you just continue to make enemies out of any who opposes you then?

[ He'll simply point towards the other end of the table where an actual breakfast lays out. Well, what these mongrels apparently consider breakfast. A bowl of eggs, a plate of bacon and sausage. Don't even ask how or why.

...And on the floor is the leftovers of some bloody carcass fresh for the lions to omnomnomnom. Don't worry, it's totally healthy. ]

You don't actually except me to go about making friends with those that dare go against me, do you? I'm not a complete idiot. That is how one gets sent to an early grave.

Yet, you chase fruitlessly after the one that opposes you the most.

[ Just telling it like it is as she sits down at the table opposite of him, going RIGHT TO TOWN with that breakfast. She's not going to let food waste, alright? ]

Not that the grave part matters much. [ Quietly spoken as she picks up a piece of bacon. ] The dead return to life here.

[ Those words strike him hard, not that he tries to show it. He may just glower for a moment or so, before continuing on with his own breakfast. ...Although his sudden change to being silent for more than two seconds may be a dead giveaway. ]

Then I'll just continue to kill them as soon as they return. There are no problems that can not be solved when one puts their mind to it.

[ You know, except whatever the fuck is going on inside of him right now. ]

Archer.

[ She's gentle in placing her fork down as she gives him her full attention. Yes, even over her precious food. ]

Did you not hear? [ May as well be the one to tell him. ] I fell to the grave during your absence. It was an act of deceit and I fell for it as though I were an ingrate.

[ Picking her fork back up. ]

I have also decided to accept your act of kindness. I will remain here with you for a while. [ Peering towards him. ] As a trial. So long as you remain on the couch and I the bed as you agreed to.

[ He didn't like that. Not one bit.

He didn't really like anyone getting to kill these mongrels besides himself, since, you know, they are technically still his as much as he claims to hate and disown them. But knowing that somebody killed her?

He probably knows she won't tell. That isn't going to stop him. ]

Tell me who it was. I'll see to it they get to experience the same unpleasant hell that you experienced.

[ He's not even going to make any mention of the next comment because his phasers are already set to kill. Nobody fucks with his bread and butter. Nobody. ]

A magus.

[ That's as much as he'll get from her regarding who. She's not going to send Sola to her death through Archer as she loses her appetite easily. ]

There is no point to it, Archer. You will kill her, she will kill another in retaliation, and it will become a circle that leads to a bloodbath.

[ And yet she gave him all he needed to know. ]

...Ha. So it was her after all. No wonder she attempted to get on my good side so suddenly.

[ Yes, there's already a plan coming into fruition in his mind. He'll toss what's left of his breakfast to the lions before moving towards the front door. ]

I expect you'll try and stop me then.

I agree to remain here and your primary desire is to leave me on my own? Very well, Archer.

[ She just went there. ]

...T'ch.

[ Well, that'll cause him to spin on his heels and shoot her a glare. ]

Do you expect me to sit idly by while some mongrel out there has tampered with my treasure? She needs to be taught a lesson.

I do not wish for her to be harmed. Will you not earn my favor in ignoring her wrongdoing?

[ That's just like Saber. Be killed and still defend her murderer's life. ]

[ Oh, Saber. Always so honorable.

Unlike a certain king. ]

Do you really hold on bitterness towards the woman that robbed you of your life? Even if you were shortly given life again. It's obvious that she'll attempt to kill you again. But I suppose I have no choice. I'll let her off the hook for now. But if she ever comes near you again...

Then I will not be fooled again.

[ It's that simple. ]
